One my comments:
I have been reading Poetry for a half century as of this past April, and this is one of the most profound Christmas poems I have ever read. In fact, after the first reading, I just stared at it---not entirely convinced it was real, but, by golly, it is. I hope you are proud of this verbal accomplishment: it is excellent in every way. And the third and fourth lines are powerfully poignant, so very powerfully poignant!!!!

One of my poems
In English
Traveling
When home is no longer home,
perhaps perished in sunken dreams.
When you're standing in deep water
and the other side seems unreachable.
Warmth is hard to find.
When live is hard,
you need a hand.
A smile instead of a tear.
A word of welcome in the silence around you.
An end to your lost steps.
A fresh start.
But you have to search for yourself.
Igniting your own light and capturing the light of someone else.
You can dance in the light
Go looking.
Knock on a door,
maybe a door will open
And you come home.
